A Place That Fits will be available for sale
OK. I JUST finished the process of uploading "A Place That Fits" to CD Baby. I paid the fee to have it up there and hopefully I'll be able to sell enough digital downloads of the track to cover my cost and then maybe make a little extra so I can put that money back into music.
My real goal with selling my music is only to make money to cover costs. Any and all music I make will be put back into making more music or maintaining costs of the website/buying equipment/buying software...
Right now I pay for it all out of my own pocket. I always have done this and I don't mind because I love it so much. I've always been against selling my music. For now all of my songs will also be available for free on my website in addition to uploading singles to sell.
WHY? Well, because I only want people who want to support me to pay for my music. If you don't care about helping me make more music and simply want the song then you can download it anyways. If you want to support me and help me cover costs then you are more than welcome to buy the song.
Right now it's being processed but as soon as it's up (i'm guessing it will be a few weeks) I will post the link and anyone who is interested can purchase the track "A Place That Fits" for 99 cents.
This is pretty exciting! I'm finally getting over my fear of charging money for my music. I just always hated the idea of charging for my music because I felt as though it's always been simply a creative outlet for me. By charging I feel like I'm giving a little of the control away to others. But is that not what our lives are about? Sharing control of things with others and not maintaining 100 percent of the control? After all society is a lot of interconnected systems that all rely on each other. So there ya go.
Initially I was going to post this on Tune Core. But after signing up I googled away about them there seemed to be a lot of dissatisfied posts out there in the web. As well the sign up processed almost seemed too easy and cheap and just not very professional.
I decided to go with CD Baby because I have a friend that uses their services. Hopefully I will have a good experience. I'll write more about it on here as things go along.
This is my first song that I'm selling. If it goes well I will sell more singles. Maybe if the singles sell... I'll decide to make a full CD.
We shall see!
